The gulf oil leak is being plugged

...which has since been replaced by safer alternatives. Need I say more?

Safer or not; whatever alternatives that were developed
are still damaging to the planet. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons
still deplete ozone and contribute to global warming. Maybe
they're "better" than CFCs, but they're still detrimental to
the environment. So they're not, "making the world a
better place." They're just making it less bad than CFCs
were.

But it doesn't matter, because the CFC problem still exists
even though they've been phased out. CFC molecules can
take up to 30 years to reach the stratosphere; and the
Montreal Protocol was enacted in 1989. That means this
next decade CFCs will have their greatest impact on the
stratosphere.

Is there any other source? CNN Live shows the pipe still gushing oil to me, and all the most recent news articles I can find indicate that BP is still some time away from making a decision about the 'top kill' option.

Chlorine-containing halokane propellants and coolants are BANNED in most countries. Nobody is using "hydrochlorofluorocarbons," they are just fluorocarbons, and they don't have the same effect.

Banned in "most countries" is irrelevant to the main point;
if it were even true. Which it isn't. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons
are still indeed in production and aren't schedule to be
phased out completely, according to the Montreal Protocol,
until 2030.

Here, you can apply for a licence to manufacture, import
or export them in Australia. Only $15,000

And again, whether any replacement has the "same effect"
as chlorine or not is still irrelevant. The effect is still bad (even
without the Chlorine which is responsible for destroying the O3
molecules; putting anything into the air that doesn't belong
there isn't good)
